Wheelchair racer Sammi Kinghorn says OBE is ‘cherry on top' of Paralympic medals
Paralympic gold medallist Sammi Kinghorn has said that being made an Officer of the British Empire (OBE) is a 'cherry on top of the cake'. Wheelchair racer Kinghorn, 29, from the Scottish Borders, who won five medals at the Paris Paralympics in 2024, including gold in the 100m T53, was honoured by the Princess Royal at Buckingham Palace on Thursday. She told the PA news agency: 'It's amazing, it's such a strange thing. 'I guess in sport you train every day hoping that one day you'll win a medal and you can kind of see that happening, but to actually be honoured it doesn't even seem achievable until it happens. 'To know that other people are watching you and they want to give you something for your achievements is quite nice. 'Paris was incredible, I went to Tokyo and won my first Paralympic medal in front of a completely empty stadium which was actually genuinely heartbreaking. 'But to go to Paris and have a full stadium and all my friends and family there was incredible, and to win my first Paralympic gold medal and then to be honoured was a cherry on top of the cake.' Kinghorn said that later this year she will compete in marathons, including one in Sydney in August. She added: 'I'm more just doing it for fun this year, I have been under so much pressure – I've been doing this sport at this level since I was 17. 'So I want to do something where there's no pressure and it really doesn't matter, just more to enjoy sport again.'

Will Boyle departs Wrexham and signs for Shrewsbury
Although he had 12 months remaining on his contract at The Racecourse, the 29-year-old has joined League Two outfit Shrewsbury on a permanent deal. Boyle only made four appearances last season with none coming in League One, as the defender started three EFL Trophy group stage games as well as the League Cup first round defeat to Sheffield United. Injuries hampered Boyle's progress and he also found Tom O'Connor and Lewis Brunt ahead of him in the pecking order. Boyle, who made 28 appearances in his first season with the Reds after joining from Huddersfield Town in the summer 2023, made a total of 32 appearances in all competitions for the Reds and he scored six goals. Prior to his one campaign with Huddersfield, Boyle enjoyed a long stint with Cheltenham Town. Away from the pitch, Boyle is on the Professional Footballers' Association (PFA)'s Players' Board, having been elected last season.
